Dover Hotels and Accommodation

(Dover, Delaware - DE, USA)

Although Dover is a fairly small and compact city when it comes to US state capitals, there is a decent choice of accommodation, particularly if you are prepared to look for hotels within the spreading metropolitan area.

The winter months in Dover tend to be a little on the chilly side and relatively quiet when it comes to visitors, meaning that lodging rates are at their cheapest during this time of the year. As the weather begins to warm up and visitor numbers rise, so do the room rates for the hotels.

For many, the familiar chain hotels and cheap motels offer everything required for a stay in Dover - cheap accommodation in a convenient location, close to a main road. However, for the more discerning travelers, one of the city's homely B&Bs may be preferable, such as the Dover House B&B on South State Street.

Where to Stay

If budget accommodation is your preference, then look along the Dupont Highway (US-13), where many of the cheapest hotels and motels reside. These include familiar brand names such as the Relax Inn and Rodeway Inn (south), and the Comfort Inn, Days Inn, Fairfield Inn & Suites, Red Roof, Residence Inn and Super 8 (north).

Another popular lodging choice located on the North Dupont Highway is the Holiday Inn Dover Downtown Hotel, which boasts extremely affordable accommodation, a fitness center, a business center and a seasonal outdoor swimming pool. Nearby, you will find Silver Lake, the Overlook area and the Kmart Shopping Center.

If you are looking for accommodation in downtown Dover, then the State Street Inn is a fairly safe bet and a good alternative to large hotels, being just a few blocks away from the State House and situated right next to Wesley College. Those choosing to stay at this small B&B / guest house will enjoy a friendly welcome, period furnishings and beautifully appointed rooms. The owners will even be happy to provide you with refreshments and towels if you are headed to the beach.
